About This Book
This was the summer he discovered what he wanted--at a gruesome museum
of criminology far off the beaten track of more timid tourists. Visions
of torture inspired his fantasies like a muse. It would prove so
terribly fulfilling.
The bodies of four men have been discovered in the town of Bradfield.
Enlisted to investigate is criminal psychologist Tony Hill. Even for a
seasoned professional, the series of mutilation sex murders is unlike
anything he's encountered before. But profiling the psychopath is not
beyond him. Hill's own past has made him the perfect man to comprehend
the killer's motives. It's also made him the perfect victim.
A game has begun for the hunter and the hunted. But as Hill confronts
his own hidden demons, he must also come face-to-face with an evil so
profound he may not have the courage--or the power--to stop it...
